I started with OC&C in fall 2007 after graduating from UPenn. I wanted a job where I could apply my interest in the industry, but I also wanted an intellectually rigorous environment in which to acquire a broader spectrum of skills and knowledge.
I was extremely impressed with OC&C’s retail experience as well as its considerable international presence. In fact, I worked for four months out of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, which was very exciting for me. Living and working in the UAE taught me so much about business in a newly- booming economy and the myriad cultures that make up the city.
If you’ve been looking into consulting, I’m sure you know that your day-to-day schedule varies so much! That said, a lot of what an AC is responsible for consists of industry research.
Everyone I work closely with has an interesting story to tell – ex-professional athletes, recorded rock musicians, authors, Guitar Hero addicts. Such a diversity of perspectives contributes to the quality of our work and makes the workday something to look forward to.
